Thank you Tim. Since bv4... is active again, I was about to either 
request 'someone' do that, or try to figure out how.

The spam filter is different from the block list. The block_list 
discards. Nikos was warned and informed before being added. I presume 
bv4 is just blocked. The spam filter sends to a human moderator who 
either accepts or discards. The filter is not currently tuned to catch 
CoC violations, such as personal insults, from otherwise normal posters. 
If it were, moderators could reject with explanation and suggestion to 
revise.
